Have a Rally at your campground

TCT Rally Participation Guidelines

TCT Rallies must be organized by a regional representative or TCT member.

TCT rallies will bring in many visitors to view the trailers both with newer trailers wanting to camp with them and visitors coming into the park for open houses. Campgrounds should provide a considerable discount for the TCT rally participant camping fees. Offering the discount on either side of the rally core dates is also preferred.

Campgrounds should provide gathering spots for TCT club meetings and food events. The gathering spot needs to provide shelter from the elements (sun and rain).

Campgrounds should consider providing entertainment to the club members – musical activities, local places of interest and tours, etc. Our members incur significant cost and risk in bringing beautifully restored trailers and tow vehicles long distances, providing them with a fun and educational experience will encourage large participation at your event.

Open house times should be a reasonable length of time. The owner is allowing guests into their trailer and they need time to setup and tear down their displays and decorations.

TCT Members should be grouped together for the enjoyment of the open house guests and the TCT members.

TCT Members must be allowed to stay over night in their campers. These are not display vehicles but our members use them. Participants must be allowed to stay over night.

Many TCT members travel with their pets. Campgrounds that allow campers to bring their pets are preferred by a large population in the club.

Many vintage trailers don’t have modern conveniences that newer trailers have. At a minimum, electric service and water access to the trailers is required. External shower and bathroom facilities are a must.

If this is purely a vintage trailer display, then the campground or event organizer must include security for the displayed vehicles.

Campground should advertise the rally both internally within the campground and externally with local papers and news to encourage visitors to the park.

Campgrounds should work with the rally organizer on clear refund policies and late registration processes.

If your campground is interested in hosting a Tin Can Tourists rally and is able to support the guidelines above. Please contact TCT club president at Forrest Bone @ tincantourists@gmail.com
